TV boxes and streaming sticks connect to the internet over Wi-Fi so you can watch streaming services such as YouTube and Netflix, and they don't receive free-to-air channels. To watch free-to-air TV, you need a DTMB set-top box or a TV with a built-in DTMB receiver, such as our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/tcl-tvs\"\u003eHong Kong licensed TCL TVs\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between a streaming stick and a TV box?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA streaming stick is small. It plugs straight into the HDMI port on your TV or projector, runs on USB power and stays hidden behind the screen. A TV box is a separate unit that sits next to the TV and usually has more ports. Both work the same way: you pick an app with the remote and start watching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I set one up?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlug the stick into an HDMI port on your TV or projector, connect the USB power, and switch the input to that HDMI port. Then follow the on-screen steps to join Wi-Fi and sign in to your account. Services such as Netflix and Disney+ need their own subscription.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eI already have a smart TV. Do I still need one?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot if your TV works well. But if its system no longer gets updates, apps are slow to open, or the app you want won't install, a streaming stick usually costs far less than a new TV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I see the products in person?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
